Medical Tourism App

Many clients intend to seek medical treatment abroad in case of emergency. But the whole process of research reliable specialists, collecting reviews and dealing with organisational procedures is really complicated. The client’s tourism branch is responsible for coordinations of such treatment.

Magora was asked to develop a mobile application to cover all these requirements for the customer clients' convenience.

The application should have covered the following features:

Different options for medical insurance programs could be compared and the policy could be bought via an app.
All the information about the patient’s previous treatment was to be available in the electronic DB.
Fresh clinical test results and scheduled procedures were to be available in the personal account.

Exclusive features: 

Search for medical experts and health centres located in different countries,

• Filter the results by medical specialty, location, reviews and availability.
• View the physicians’ profiles, patients’ feedback and service rates;

Assess the condition of medical institutions via descriptions, picture galleries and direct links to their websites, with detailed information.

Simple communication between  the insurance company, client and the medical center;

• Integration with an interactive map to set your route to the intended destination;
• Reminders about the date and time of consultation and direct contact with the doctors via mobile app.   

Key challenges within the development included:
      

• providing quick data exchange in online mode,
• Offline access to a list of hospitals near a defined location,
• SOS button – the quickest way to contact doctors even if you’re offline, 

• protecting personal data and confidential information, 
• Integration of different services and review platforms,
• working with a smartphone’s limited memory capacity and battery consumption.  

As an initial step, the discovery phase was implemented. Based on the research data analysis, the main functional priorities were set. Key features were designed in accordance with corporate guidelines. Based on the provided prototype, following the client’s approval, Magora developed an MVP for the Android & iOS mobile apps.

Technical scope:

iOS: Swift, UIKit, Foundation, SQLite

Android: Android SDK, Espresso, SQLite

Back-end: C#, .NET Core 2, AWS, PostgreSQL

In-house testing by the company staff is done successfully; the final version of the product will be launched to the public following the client’s marketing plan.
